The structure of the canine carpal joint is complex. This small joint consists of articulations that include the antebrachiocarpal, middle, carpometacarpal, and intercarpal joint surfaces. A large number of ligaments and tendons support and stabilise the carpus in dogs. Many injuries of this joint...

Distal ulnar ostectomy may be performed palliatively in patients with distal ulnar osteosarcoma. Concurrent arthrodesis of the carpus has been proposed to counteract joint instability following transection of carpal ligaments associated with removal of the distal ulna. The objective of this...

Practical relevance: Feline carpal injuries are usually caused by falls from a height that result in hyperextension injury or antebrachiocarpal luxation or subluxation. Isolated ligamentous damage or fracture of the carpus is unusual; it is more common to have a combination of both in the cat....

Objective: To describe the outcome of two dogs treated with fascia lata autografts to repair carpal hyperextension caused by flexor carpi ulnaris (FCU) tendon injury. Animals: Two dogs with traumatic carpal hyperextension. Study design: Case report. Methods: Radiographic abnormalities were detected ...

The aim of this prospective study was to investigate the effects of focal spot size of X-ray tube on sharpness of clinical radiographic images of dogs and cats. Radiographic images of 24 stifle joints, 15 carpi, 18 lumbar spines, 61 thoraxes, and 47 abdomens of 102 dogs and 4 cats were obtained in...

A neutered 10-month-old cross-breed sheepdog was presented for an anomaly of the insertion of digit I and a major deformation of the radius and ulna of the right anterior limb, which was confirmed by radiography. The treatment consisted of amputation of digit I, realignment of the carpus and...

A 3-year-old mixed-breed dog was presented with acute onset of non-weight bearing right thoracic limb lameness. Radiographs revealed dislocation of the ulnar styloid and a small slab fracture of the medial cortex of the distal ulna. Moderate medial and mild lateral instability without...

Goniometry is a low-cost, user-friendly and widely available technique used by different veterinary medicine professionals to estimate joint range of motion (ROM). Studies providing breed-specific reference ranges for goniometric measurements are scarce and there is a lack of information regarding...

Background: Histoplasma (H.) capsulatum is a dimorphic fungus, and infection is typically via inhalation of microconidia. After conversion to the yeast phase within the lung, the organism is subsequently disseminated to other tissues by macrophages. Nasal histoplasmosis appears to be a rare...

In this report, we aimed to present our colleagues the phenomenon of dislocation of the os carpiradiale, which is rarely seen in dogs. A 10-year-old, spayed male Terrier was referred to the Animal Hospital of Near East University, TRNC, with the anamnesis of having lameness of the right front limb. ...
